Remember those $400.00 and $800.00 tax credits Barack Obama gave you in his stimulus plan? And remember that $250.00 gift he gave social security recipients?

Well, Obama decided he wants them back. Yep. According to the IRS, Obama has never asked for an adjustment of the tax tables, so millions of Americans are going to get taxed for having received the tax credits back in February — typically through adjustments the federal government demanded businesses make in employees’ withholdings.

“While implementing a credit through reduced withholding is an effective way to provide economic stimulus evenly throughout the year, it is difficult to account for everyone’s circumstances,” said J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. “More than 10 percent of all taxpayers who file individual tax returns for 2009 could owe additional taxes.”

The tax credit is also available for 2010. Russell said the problems will continue in 2010 if they are not resolved.

Chris, so you're going to pin this on President Obama too. Why am I not surprised?

Even your own comment contradicts itself. You say President Obama never asked the IRS to adjust the withholding tables, then later in your own comment you say the IRS inspector general said they failed to account for all the situations that could happen. If the IRS tried but failed to account for all situations, it sounds like someone asked them to adjust the tables.

Bruce are you trying to say that Obama isn't in control of the IRS? Are you trying to blame this on the Republicans too? Why is it when the Democrats screw something up it's never their fault even though they are the ones in control? Obama gets credit for handing out the checks but not for the taxing of our income. You really are dillutional Bruce. You dopes on the left want everyone to take your intentions into account but not the consequences. You don't get to pick and choose which effects Obama gets credit for and which ones get shoved over to the right. The Democrats have all branches of govt and yet you still deflect all resposability. Grow up.

The phone rings and the lady of the house answers, "Hello?""Mrs. Sanders, please.""Speaking.""Mrs. Sanders, this is Dr. Jones at St. Agnes Laboratory. When your husband's doctor sent his biopsy to the lab last week, a biopsy from another Mr. Sanders arrived as well. We are now uncertain which one belongs to your husband. Frankly, either way the results are not too good.""What do you mean?" Mrs. Sanders asks nervously."Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the other one tested positive for HIV. We can't tell which is which.""That's dreadful! Can you do the test again?" questioned Mrs.. Sanders."Normally we can, but the new health care system will only pay for these expensive tests just one time.""Well, what am I supposed to do now?""The folks at Obama health care recommend that you drop your husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him."
